Objectives: To place in vending machines and determine if different sales strategies affect selection.

Participants: University students living in resident halls.

Methods: Vending machines included 50% and 50% non compliant snacks. Three sales strategies targeted student selection of : Reduced price, signage, and nutrition education activities. Three-way ANOVA was used for analysis.

Results: There was a statistically significant three-way interaction on snack selection between sales strategy, study period, and snack type, (4, 77) = 3.33, = .01. There were no statistically significant simple two-way interaction between study period and sales strategy for either , (1, 77) = 1.62,  = 0.18, or NC snack types, (1, 77) = 2.02,  = 0.07.

Conclusions: Sales strategies did not affect selections. Advocates for healthier snacks in vending machines can align with

Cold induces increased ad libitum energy intake independent of changes in energy expenditure: a controlled crossover trial in adults.

Am J Clin Nutr

December 2024

Obesity and Diabetes Clinical Research Section, Phoenix Epidemiology and Clinical Research Branch, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Phoenix, AZ, United States.

Background: Measures of energy metabolism (energy expenditure [EE], respiratory exchange ratio [RER]) have been associated with ad libitum energy intake (EI) and weight gain in previous observational studies, suggesting that energy-sensing mechanisms drive EI to meet metabolic energy demands.

Objectives: We aimed to employ mild cold exposure as an intervention to alter energy metabolism and evaluate its causal effects on concurrent and next day ad libitum EI.

Methods: In a controlled crossover study, 47 volunteers (16 female; age 37.
